Now that the tangle is supposed to be operational once again as a test I wanted to withdraw 1Mi from my Bitfinex account to my full node, with the idea of passing it on over to my android wallet as well … just to test the system.

However, I was stopped in my tracks when attempting to withdraw from BFX with the following notice:

Notice: Withdrawals for this currency are currently unavailable.For details and information please see recent announcements.Please contact support@bitfinex.com or open a help desk ticket if you have any questions or concerns.

I’ve now txed funds back and forth between exchanges & full-node wallet and will be testing with the android wallet soon.

I expect to be promoting IOTA to the many people who are currently requesting info from me regarding cryptocurrencies.
Yes, it’s beta, yes there are issues regarding many topics for beginners (such as address reuse), but IMHO the positives vastly outweigh the few minor negatives, which I’m quite confident will be overcome in the near future
